According to the COIIStUICLiOIl herein shown,-tl1e plate 51 the mainvalve isin normal position and inorderto indicate the part cular number of holes thus left open according to the particular adjustment, Imark .on the plate adjacent one of the slots the numbers 2, 3 and 4:;(Fig. 13), thereby indicating that .when

the screw 57 "is opposite any one of these numbers, acorresponding number of tubes will be left open. For instance, according to th'e adjustment'illustrated 'in the draw ings, .two holes will be left open and consequently the number 2 appears opposite the stu'd 57. lt'will be understood that, as hereinbefore mentioned, this plate .forms a stop for the main valve in one direction of movement 'and hence the adjustment of such pla'te ini-one direction or the other so changes the position of the stop as to increase or decrease the degree of partial urotation or oscillation of such valve.

In order that the plate 51 may be adjusted with accuracy to its different positions for opening or closing more or less of the plurality. of tubes, I provide for a pin" and hole connection between the adjustable plate 51 and the end plate 35. In the resent in- "stance, as clearly disclosed in Figs. 13 and 19 of the drawings, I provide the plate 35 with avseries of 010s 35 and provide the adj ustable plate 51 with a depen ing stud or pin 51 which in Fig. 19 is shown as posi tioned in the outermost hole on the left. In the adjustment'of the plate 51 the in 51 is removed or withdrawn from w atever hole it me. happen to be in and then inserted in t e proper hole 35 accordin to the desired adjustment of the plate 51. onsequently, the number of tubes left open and the number of vaporizing nozzles or jets rendered efiectivewhen the main valve is in normal position may be varied, as desired or as found necessary. Under the present construction herein described, and according to the particular adjustment shown, the main-valve when in normal position leaves twotubes open or uncovered and when moved 0 us the remaining tubes one at a time an alternately from opposite 'sides. It is obvious, however, that. the arrangement might be such that the main valve shall normally leave one tube open or shall open tubes on opposite sides simultaneously instead of alternately. p

The gas outlet nozzle 47 is preferably provided with a spring pressed check valve 41,

i as indicated in Fig. 1, for the purpose of per- -mitting air to be drawn or sucked in on the air permitted to enter inspiration stroke of the motor whenever the .valves should be substantially shut ofi BEST AVAILABLE copy thereby preventing the flow of any gas or air through'the carbureter. .However, this feature is not essential.

In practice, when the main and supplemental valves are closed, the damper valve is slightly open to permit the flow of enough gas to! turn over the' motor and keep it running slowly, the amount of which flow can be re ulated by the damper valve. This position 15 illustrated in Fig. 8. It being borne in mind that, according to the adjustment illustrated, two of the tubes are open, the first movement of the supplemental valve will open the outlet port Hi (Fig. 1) and the motor will draw the as through the. surface recess 48, 48 beneath such valve" and then. through such outlet port. Two of the tubes and vaporizing nozzles or jets are new in full service and supplying gas to the'motor, as shown in Fig. 9.' Furthermore, as seen in Fig. 8, the main valve remains locked against movement by reason of the fact that, at this time, the segment portion 42. of the supplemental valve bears against the-stud 50 and keeps. it in "the slot 52 of the plate 51, withthe result that the main valve is locked to that, plate andJconseguently locked against movement. Continue movement of the supplemental valve brings its hook 42 and slot 42 into .codperation with the stiid 50, (F ig. 9) with the result that the further movement of such valve withdraws the stud from its slot, as seen in Fig. 10, and by reason of the enga ement of that valvewith the main valve t rough the' medium of the link 49, the latter valve is taken up by and carried with the. first valve L2 in its anti-clockwise movement. The result of the movementis to open the tubes singly and alternatelyfin the two groups and thereby bring additional nozzles or jets into service. The movement of the valves may be continued until the main valve is stopped by the pin 54, at which time full 0 ning 1s had, inasmuch as all the tubes (twe ve in the present instance) are open, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 11.

It will be understood-that the amount of I the lower ends of the tubes maybe regulated by the ring 26, hereinbefore described, for tie urpose of controlling or varying the ric ness of the gas or vapor. 1

The particular fuel, line or level ma1ntained by the carbureter is determinedrin suitable manner,- as by means-of a tubeor "hose which the drain passage ofthe fuel chamber. Th s is done just after the parts are assembled and when the chamber-is in' its lowermost position. When the fuel level is thus determined, the same isSuitabIy ind1cated,as by means of a point, scratch or horizontal l1 n e on the outside of the casing or'shell, as m'-- dicated at 58 in Fig. 4:. With this line-c05 operates a vertical gage rod'59, wh ch 's se- 1'20 maybe temporarily attached to ciiiedito one "(if the lateralextensions or pipes 2-2 and USES upward to the same height. as

'.the vaporizing nozzles-or jets. This gage rod is so positioned as to .passthrou'gh-a hole. 60 m thefiangefi; (F1gs.'-1 and 5) and close to the outer s1de or surface of the shell 1.

' This rod indicates to the operator the exact plane of the endsfofthe*nozzles or jets,

which a-re'jconealed intheirtubcs when the parts, are" assembled, and enable. him to .ad- .just these jets with relation-to the fuel level.- It wi1l be understood "that {all-I carburetors *niade exactlythe san1e" 'will have the same determination.- a 7 fuel level-which calrhe'indicated, as d scrihed,- without the 31Cfslty of individual the vaporizing nozzles The adjustment ,jpr jets'withregard tothe fuel levelfis ac complished by the-rotation oflthe nut 10 {and the, con'sequentraisingor lowering, as theca-se may be, of the, fuel chambenlnthe manner already e'xplainedQjIn the, position 25. justment, for-in the present instance the feed illustrated in Riga-,1 the fuell'chainber is adl s t its wermost, positi'orn More:

Moreover, iii'case of a tilt ng of the carhureter m a direction, at

a My carbureter is not only compact, but has provision for ready assembling and taking apart and the lower cap I is particularly easy 0 attachment to and detachment from the body "of thecarhureter, which issecured to some fined support, with the result that such c m t-gigetlicr with-theentire fuel vchamber and-nozzles, may, with extreme facility, be

i'epair or cleaning'after simply unloosening and Swinging the clamping bolts. Furthermore', ih caseany oft 1e nozzles should becomeplog ed. orshould work improperly, they may be readily cleaned or be removed and others substituted. These 'l'ozzles may v all 'be'of the same bore, or of-ditl'erent borcs,

, and such varied sizes of nozzles may be distributed throughout the groups in the manneixsuitedto give the best .results fo'r'any particular type or make of engine or motor. Thesenozzlcs are preferably numbered according to their bore to insure the substitution of a nozzle of the same bore when desired. The valve mechanism is, by preference, adapted to cooperate with a scale to indicate to the operator the particular position thereof at any time and to thereby indicate whether the damper valve only is operative or the seriesof mixing tubes, and to indirate; as well, the nmnhcr of such tubes in service. lt will be understood that this scale iin'gvgdwlocated in any desired locality so loiig as it ii1' crati s with-the valve mechanism and ii'ldicates the'position of its valve. In the present instance, rastshown lit-.Flg. 18 I have illustrated such scaleon the top of thecarlmreter itself, although it is obvious that/it maybe located elsewhere in cooperation with the controlling lever. herein shown, the scale .61" has the indication da npei g ralvel? to indicate the positions when tht" supplemental" valve (in practice called the damper valve isin servic.

and also has the indications which, for the begin with the number 2 and run successively to 1-2, in correspondence with the mixing chambers or tubes.

An indicator or pointer (32 is mounted on the hub of the supplemental valve in such manner as to cooperate with the scale. When the indicator pomtsto the'mar-kGl, the sup- ?iplemental valve is in normal or closed posit on with the small damper valve, which it ran-res, in service. When the indicator is are in service, Continued movement of the valves will open or bring additional mixing -tubes into service and the number thereof will be indicated by the pointer. \Vhen the valve mechanism is in full open position the indicator will point to 12 on the scale, inasmuch as the entire twelve mixing tubes are then in'service.

While in the particular mechanical habiliment of my invention as herein shown, the mixing chambers are tubes and are so desig nated throughout the foregoing specificati0n, yet it will be understood that my invention in its broader aspect is not to be limited to -such particular form but that such mixing chambers may partake of .other forms. 4 V I'claim:
